Sending a Welcome Email after Email-based Signup in Azure AD B2C

Question

I have a business requirement to send a welcome notification to the registered email address of users who recently signed up from Azure AD B2C Signup flow. I am wondering if there is any option available within OOTB User flow configuration or if I have to go with a custom policy. If I need to use a custom policy, are there any references available to achieve the end result?

Hi @Deepak Singh ,

Thanks for your post! There isn't an out-of-the-box user flow configuration and this feature is not available for custom policies. The best option would be to create a custom policy and use the SendGrid email provider.

This is the documentation that has the most up-to-date steps to achieve this. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/custom-email-sendgrid?pivots=b2c-custom-policy

You will need to create a SendGrid account, store the SendGrid API key in an Azure AD B2C policy key, and create a SendGrid email template that gets added to the claims transformation.

Alternatively, this could also be done using an Azure Function that calls a REST API that sends an email, another third-party email provider such as SparkPost, or any HTTP-based email provider.

If you would like to see this feature implemented as an out-of-the-box functionality, you can leave feedback in the feedback forum. https://feedback.azure.com/

I have also added your feedback to an internal request.
